Portable Jewelry Display Ideas

This necklace stand would be a simple DIY project. You'd just have to ensure you have the right length of tray to fit the length of your necklaces.

If, for example, your necklaces have fairly standard 17-19 inch chains, the chain would need about 8.5 to 9.5 inches of space to hang in a display, plus space for any pendant and a little extra space to clear the bottom. A tray approximately 12 - 17 inches long would work depending on the length of your chains and pendants.  

The next photo shows a close up of wood slices, bowls, a cutting board, and vintage glass bottles used to display tiny items in the same booth. It's a clever use of items you could buy or create inexpensively, and you might already have something similar around your house.

If you love the look of jewelry displayed on a mannequin, as you can see in the first photo, you can use large fabric display mannequins if you have the space. Alternatively, a small, table top torso similar to the one in the photo is a great way to feature a special piece of jewelry.

Here's another portable jewelry display idea that you can DIY. This one requires a little more skill, but it's not too complex. Check out the wood necklace stand in the photo on the left. It's just two sheets of wood cut to the width and height that works for this portable jewelry display.

There's a bit of a zig zag cut out of the top to add interest, and tiny nails provide a spot to hang jewelry. Finally, two pieces of wood are attached with hinges to create an interesting V shape that echoes the zig zags on the top and creates a stable base for the wood to stand securely.

Did you notice the hula hoop at the top of this jewelry tent? It's there to tighten the fabric on the top of the tent, so water won't pool and cause leaks if it rains.

It's very noticeable in the photo, or if you're really examining the booth in person. But average customers who are interested in the jewelry, and not how the booth is put together, would almost never notice it.

The light wood planks used to display necklaces here are simple wood rectangles with notches cut out to hold the jewelry in place. With some basic woodworking skills, you could DIY this stand.

The wood crates add depth and height to the display, and they would be fabulous for storage and transporting product to and from shows.

Display pieces that do double-duty as storage and transportation aids are fabulous!

Matching wood trays provide a way to group smaller jewelry pieces. Paint or stain the wood and the crates the same color, and you'll have an excellent, pulled together look. Use an accent color for the necklace displays, as this jewelry artist has done. When choosing a color for items that will display your products, be sure to choose one that shows your jewelry at its best.

Add a table covering that suits your brand, large-scale signs are fantastic to draw attention to smaller items, and a chalkboard sign would finish the look beautifully!
